What are snowmobiles used for?

Answer 1

they are used for recreation and for search and rescue also racing
A snowmobile is for people who can not get around town with a car, like in Alaska. A snowmobile is also used to go up to your local mountains, of course when there is snow on the ground, and ride for a lot of people, like me, many people do it to relive stress like some people go out and shoot guns, and most people go off of the trail causing the snow machine to be of a higher profile as some would say. Some makers like Yamaha make low profiles or low seater for the beginners. Most people ride high profiles because when your in deep powder, which is great, its lighter so you can through it around, but low profiles are not so light which makes it great for beginners staying on the trails. The skis controll the machine from swerving although your track dose pretty good work on its own its not the money maker its all in the skis. The track is run by a motor close to a car's motor but don't get the two mixed up. Snowmobiles are run by 120s for the kids 480s for beginners 600s for racers or for your trail riding and 800s for more experienced drivers. More "ccs" as some people call it, are getting into the 900s, 1000s, and the big monster one the 1500, all these move your track. The biggest factor is your track studs you could have a 480cc go against a 800cc with the 480cc having a 9" track and the 800cc with barely any and it would be pretty close race. Please get into the sport maybe you could to be a racer and be famous! SAFE RIDING!!!! :) see you out there

So you can go one place to another and so you can't get stuck in the snow.
